Over the years I have attended lots of things there, not fancy but a great place, and the scenery is breathtaking.

  Some of you may be interested in the activities sponsored by the 
  Highlander Center.
  http://www.highlandercenter.org/view/view-024.htm

  The Highlander Center is a residential popular education and research 
  organization based on a 106-acre farm in the foothills of the Great 
  Smoky Mountains, twenty-five miles east of Knoxville, Tennessee.

  Since 1932, Highlander has gathered workers, grassroots leaders, 
  community organizers, educators, and researchers to address the most 
  pressing social, environmental and economic problems facing the 
  people of the South. Highlander sponsors educational programs and 
  research into community problems, as well as a residential Workshop 
  Center for social change organizations and workers active in the 
  South and internationally. Generations of activists have come to 
  Highlander to learn, teach, and prepare to participate in struggles 
  for justice.
